Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 670 - 227: Emerald Sparrow’s Worries (Part 2)

On the contrary, in this matter, it's precisely such bureaucratic measures that put one at ease.

Currently, she had entered this examination room under the guise of the examinee Long Dan.

Merely, because there had already been communication between her and Emerald, a doppelganger had been specially prepared in this examination room by Emerald. Simultaneously, the two examiners here were also close "insiders," giving the Emerald Sparrow and Emerald this opportunity to meet privately.

She looked at the light screen before her, Lin Xiaolu's evaluation results and data were already on record:

[Ability Specification: Level 4]

[Development Potential: Gemstone Scepter]

[Application Field: Broad, suitable for most scenarios aside from support and logistics]

[Development Potential: Extremely High]

[Stability Level: Extremely Low]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: Soliflor+]

[Note: The examinee's magic armor is suspected to be an unprecedented new type, which cannot be fully measured by existing detection standards, thus it is rated as S+ level with hopes for high-level attention.]

Following that was a long string of rather professional descriptions and data that the Emerald Sparrow could only roughly understand given her theoretical level.

As early as in Fangting City, regarding Lin Xiaolu's magic armor, the Emerald Sparrow had already consulted Emerald, but due to the lack of hardware in the temporary laboratory of Fangting City, Emerald couldn't provide a detailed insight at that time.

Their participation in the assessment in the Kingdom this time was actually an opportunity for the two of them to thoroughly evaluate Lin Xiaolu's magic armor.

Despite being mentally prepared, seeing Lin Xiaolu's magic armor marked as "S+", the Emerald Sparrow still felt a sinking sensation in her heart.

This was a rating that was unprecedented as well, but everyone with an eye could understand the meaning behind the examiner's evaluation: the value embodied in Lin Xiaolu's magic armor had already exceeded the existing evaluation system.

Moreover, the development potential labeled as "Gemstone Scepter level" in the subcategory data also made the Emerald Sparrow's eyelids twitch.

"...What level is this 'Gemstone Scepter level'?" she couldn't help but ask.

"It's a purely theoretical concept I deduced a long time ago, during the period when I was leading research on the potential of magic armor,"

Emerald's tone remained as languid as ever, but with a slight lift, allowing the Emerald Sparrow to detect a hint of "pride" in her voice: "At that time, my deputies and students felt that this theoretical concept was too rebellious, even insulting to the Royal Court, and advised me not to publish it. I agreed, for the sake of these youngsters whose courage was not even as firm as that of lab rats."

"Then? Why did it appear in this assessment report?" the Emerald Sparrow drooped her eyelids.

"Of course, it's because I secretly revised the standards recorded in the system afterwards."

Emerald confidently stated: "No one can stop me from leaving the correct research results in this world. If someone can, then it must be because they have proven I was wrong. But now, this report fully proves my correctness in summarizing the potential of magic armor. I was right!"

"Ah, I see."

The Emerald Sparrow held back her words, ultimately just nodding and calmly continuing what she considered the right topic: "So what exactly is the significance of this rating?"

"It means, if your daughter can grow up smoothly and blossom, she might not even need the empowerment from His Majesty and could still become a magical girl on the same tier as us."

The Elf Doll spread its arms: "The Magic Kingdom will usher in the sixth, a 'gemstone scepter' that lacks the destined powers and authority yet still possesses the corresponding strength."

Hearing Emerald's slightly elevated words, the Emerald Sparrow closed her eyes.

"You don't seem too happy about it," Emerald tilted the Doll's head.

"...I'm very happy."

The Emerald Sparrow took a deep breath, opening her eyes and slightly pulling up the corners of her mouth: "Who wouldn't be happy to hear others say that their child will be incredible in the future?"

"For now, I'll kindly believe your words, but you don't seem too surprised either," the Doll observed the Emerald Sparrow.

"Surprised... Should I be surprised right now?"

There was a faintly complex emotion in the Emerald Sparrow's voice: "But I can't deceive myself, I'm not really surprised at all. My being a magical girl with certain peculiarities, and An Ya being special in her own way, so it would actually be unusual for two special people like us to have an ordinary child."

"Yes, that indeed would be unusual."

Emerald acknowledged: "We live on the magic side of the world, and everyone knows, the talent for magic power and blood ties have always been inseparable."

"I know what's right, what's normal, and what's destined to happen; I even thought I had already prepared myself."

The Emerald Sparrow, knees together, rested her elbows on her thighs, bending over, and covered her mouth and nose with interlaced fingers, a flicker of worry flashed across her once calm face: "But when I actually saw the specific results, I realized, I might need to convince myself once more."

"Feeling worried?"

"Yes, there's no way not to be worried."

"It always feels like that child is still so small in your eyes, as if she just walked out of the cradle not long ago. Clearly, even now she's your little princess, cherished dearly, but at this moment, it's as if you're already seeing her at that position, facing the winds and rains?"

Emerald suddenly asked out of the blue.

The Emerald Sparrow was taken aback: "How do you..."

"Of course I know," Emerald maintained her boastful demeanor: "I've said it before, what I know far exceeds your imagination."

"Have you been married?" The Emerald Sparrow's melancholy was dissipated by the other's astonishing remarks, now she simply found it peculiar.

"No, and I'm not afraid to make you laugh, I've never even held a man's hand in my life," Emerald casually replied, but then added after a thought: "Handshakes with male colleagues and partners don't count."

"Then how can you describe such things so vividly?"

"The expectations and love for the younger generation sometimes don't require the ties of blood." Emerald feigned profundity: "Just like that child leaning towards the magic power side with the remnant beast, you actually don't resist her considering you a relative, right? After all, the first thing you did when you entered was not to inquire about your own biological daughter's situation, but whether that little girl got into trouble."

The Emerald Sparrow fell silent.

The three juniors had long since informed the Emerald Sparrow of their magic armor assessment schedule, so naturally, she knew that Bai Jingxuan was the first among them to undergo testing.

Before entering this examination room, what worried her the most were three things: whether Bai Jingxuan would slip up during her assessment, whether Lin Xiaolu's magic armor information would be reported, and whether Xia Liang would be bullied in the upcoming dueling segment.

Fortunately, Emerald had already delivered two good results, both Bai Jingxuan and Lin Xiaolu had passed their assessments smoothly. Despite her worries for the more distant future, she was actually quite reassured about the present matters.

"Alright, I've given you an answer to what concerns you the most. Although I have some guesses about your daughter's magic armor, we'll discuss that later."

Seeing that the Emerald Sparrow seemed to have digested the information, Emerald shifted gears and said:

"Next, let's talk a little about what I'm most concerned about—I assume you've already observed those beast children, do you have any thoughts or conclusions?"
